What kind of braces are right for me?

So, Dublin 18 Dental may well be the perfect place to get your braces in Dublin. But what kind of braces will you have? The range of braces available to our patients now is larger than ever. Braces tend to fall into a few distinct categories.

The first category are wire bracket braces. They are traditional braces that are placed directly onto the teeth and bonded to the front of them. You can have traditional metal brackets or tooth-coloured brackets. In either case the brackets are attached directly to the front of the teeth themselves.

Next you have invisible aligners, which can take the form of a clear retainer that looks like a gum shield that can be removed for cleaning and eating. Many people prefer this solution because it allows them to discreetly straighten their teeth, but also allows them to take them out for any occasions they would be worried about wearing a brace. In some cases a new retainer is provided every 4 weeks.

Finally,there is a discreet wire aligner called a lingual brace that can be fitted to the inside rather than the outside of your teeth. Using a similar wire frame to conventional braces, it uses pressure from the inside of the teeth to straighten them, meaning a solution that is even more discreet and totally effective, but also with a minimum of fuss.
